Consideration is given to problems of averaging absorption 
coefficients of atoms and multiply charged ions with passage to the 
region of total ionization. It is shown that correct allowance for 
ionization of hydrogen-like ions makes it possible to pass automatically 
to coefficients of absorption in the continuous spectrum. A comparison 
is made with detailed calculations of mean free paths for a number 
of elements.
